Anyone else seen this anti authoritarian masterpiece ?
"This incredible film takes a look at British boarding school and three unruly seniors who fail to conform. If... is an amazing blend of fact and fantasy which features a young Malcolm McDowell in his first film. The students at College House are kept in line by tradition, strict discipline and prefects. Director Lindsay Anderson is careful to document the repressive conditions and the painfulness of rebellion as he builds to his surreal and violent ending when the students have their day. It is a marvellously funny movie, but it's also profoundly disturbing and deep."
If you havent , try and pick up a copy on VHS. It's top notch stuff, pretty sureal and it generally sums up how messed up the school system was back then, and the ending is flawless.
